IN FLORIDA, WE CALL THIS 'PARKING'

Man Accused of Driving Into Post Office

Key Quote Indicating Some Kind of Deep-Seated Consumer Dissatisfaction: Adams said Sparling had damaged a post office previously, and the sheriff said Sparling had a history of damaging postal buildings.

Shockingly, DWI was involved!!

He seems like the perfect post office employee. Anyone hiring?

Posted by: ellie | 10:18 AM on March 25, 2008

You think it's bad now, wait till the last minute idiots pull up at the post office with their tax forms!

Posted by: Steve Haller | 10:19 AM on March 25, 2008

Dad????

Posted by: Texgal | 10:21 AM on March 25, 2008

Exactly, what's the problem, officer??

Posted by: Siouxie | 10:22 AM on March 25, 2008

So if he uses two cars, is that "parallel parking" ?

Posted by: Steve Haller | 10:23 AM on March 25, 2008

Y'all wore me out. I'm going to bed now. Say funny things for me!

Nytol!

*smooooochies* ddd!!!

My car was rear-ended recently at a post office. I now realize I was protecting the post office from damage. Do I get free stamps now?

Posted by: Erb's Point | 10:34 AM on March 25, 2008

Dang! so the mail was a little late, live with it.

'Night ddd!

Posted by: ellie | 10:36 AM on March 25, 2008

So, post offices are NOT drive-thrus, then?


"Funny things"
(How was that?)

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | 10:37 AM on March 25, 2008

That gives "going postal" a whole different perspective.

Posted by: Wench Lizzy | 11:25 AM on March 25, 2008

LOL Lizzy, I was thinking that too. Going "postal" in a mobile way - sort of speak.

Posted by: Siouxie | 11:29 AM on March 25, 2008

What a waste of a classic sports car! He couldn't just find some old jalopy to crush?

Posted by: Diva | 11:32 AM on March 25, 2008

Why waste any cars, Diva? Just hotwire one of those mail trucks. It's what I always do.

Posted by: Elon Weintraub | 11:59 AM on March 25, 2008

Much better, Elon!

Posted by: Diva | 12:04 PM on March 25, 2008

Morning, Diva. I threw yah a return smooch way back in "Death" thread.

Erb, you might consider a rear-end condom to be worth the expense before you return to the post office. Just sayin'

Posted by: Texgal | 12:11 PM on March 25, 2008

Aw, Tex. I'll go peek! :D Nice to see you this morning.

And OUCH re: the rear-end condom!! Guess those lines are a little tighter than I remember. :D

Hillary Clinton remembers going to that post office and having to run for her life with her head down.

Posted by: Dr. Bob | 12:28 PM on March 25, 2008

Admit it, everyone - who hasn't been tempted to floor it and take out a wall? Or run your fingers through the icing on your birthday cake? Or discharge a revolver on a plane?

And yes, I'm on my way to the pharmacy right now, so I'll bring back enough for everyone.

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 12:52 PM on March 25, 2008

Or whack something with a very sharp object??

Never.

*hides the machete*

Just took all my meds and then some I'm good, Annie - thanks.

Posted by: Siouxie | 12:57 PM on March 25, 2008

Um, Siouxie...I was referring to half-price Easter chocolate, but the blogboys and I are very happy to hear about your meds.

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 01:01 PM on March 25, 2008

*zips in*

I can always use a little extra, Annie. I'll be waiting. :)

Posted by: Eleanor | 01:03 PM on March 25, 2008

Dibbs on all the bunny ears. I is a klassie broad and likes to specialize.

Posted by: Texgal | 01:05 PM on March 25, 2008

um...yeah..chocolate's what I meantasay...yep.

la la la

Posted by: Siouxie | 01:07 PM on March 25, 2008

El - I'll have it shipped to you via UPS, since he's your cute delivery man du jour.
*texts Siouxie some endorphins*
Texgal - you got it, especially since I'm no longer an ear fan...I just read something about Easter bunny earwax. *shudders*

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 01:22 PM on March 25, 2008

Thanks, Annie!!!! Bunny earwax is considered to be a Texas condiment. However, human earwax is sometimes thought of as a delicacy by the Texas mullet sporting crowd.

Posted by: Texgal | 01:29 PM on March 25, 2008

I thought Rocky Mountain Oysters were bad, but Beaumont Barnacles....eeeewwww...

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 01:31 PM on March 25, 2008

*borrows El's zipper*

chortle...endorphans, a new variety of dolphan.

working from home has its advantages, but not having time to blog ain't one of them...

ddd - Charlie Sheen was trying a new drink last night - Nyquil + Scotch. He called it the Green Hulk.

Later.

*back to work*

Posted by: daisymae | 01:35 PM on March 25, 2008

*mega snorks* for Beaumont Barnacles, which could also be a local team mascot or STD.

Posted by: Texgal | 01:36 PM on March 25, 2008

Or both. (ty, Texgal)

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | 01:48 PM on March 25, 2008

A Beaumont team mascot COULD also be a STD. Might even be a natural progression up the evolutionary ladder.
